Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Verkleidung eines seitlichen Längsträgers eines Kraftfahrzeuges gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a cladding of a lateral longitudinal member of a motor vehicle according to the preamble of claim 1.

Es ist bereits bekannt, die seitlichen Längsträger von Kraftfahrzeugen durch aerodynamische Verkleidungen abzudecken, die zusammen mit der Außenwand des jeweiligen Längsträgers einen geschlossenen Hohlkörper bilden. Solche Verkleidungen bestehen in der Regel aus Kunststoffen, die formsteif und gegebenenfalls lackierfähig sind. Die Verkleidung kann sich von einem vorderen Radhaus bis zu einem hinteren Radhaus erstrecken und deckt den Bereich unterhalb der vorhandenen Kraftfahrzeugtüren bis zu einem Bodenbereich des Kraftfahrzeuges ab.It is already known to cover the lateral side members of motor vehicles by aerodynamic panels, which together with the outer wall of the respective longitudinal member form a closed hollow body. Such panels are usually made of plastics that are dimensionally stable and optionally paintable. The fairing may extend from a forward wheelhouse to a rearward wheelhouse and covers the area beneath the existing vehicle doors to a floor area of the vehicle.

Eine solche Verkleidung ist im Dokument JP-A-2002 002402, das als nächstliegender Stand der Technik angesehen wird, offenbart.Such a cladding is disclosed in JP-A-2002 002402, which is considered to be the closest prior art.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is solved by the features of claim 1.

Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Verkleidung ist mindestens ein zusätzlicher Verkleidungsabschnitt vorgesehen, der sich in eine Türausschnittsöffnung erstreckt und dort die Funktion einer Trittleiste hat. Durch die erfindungsgemäße Verkleidung ergibt sich in einfacher Weise eine zusätzliche Verkleidungsfunktion.In the case of the cladding according to the invention, at least one additional cladding section is provided, which extends into a door cutout opening and has the function of a tread strip there. The inventive cladding results in a simple way an additional cladding function.

Der erfindungsgemäße zusätzliche Verkleidungsabschnitt weist in einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsform eine Vertiefung oder Aussparung auf, in die ein Einstiegsleistenelement befestigbar ist, das neben der Trittschutzfunktion auch eine Designfunktion hat. Vorteilhafterweise kann das Einstiegsleistenelement in einer vorbestimmten Farbe und/oder aus einem vorbestimmten Material bestehen.In an advantageous embodiment, the additional cladding section according to the invention has a depression or recess into which a door sill element can be fastened, which, in addition to the step protection function, also has a recess Design function has. Advantageously, the door sill element may consist of a predetermined color and / or of a predetermined material.

Das erfindungsgemäße Einstiegsleistenelement kann Aussparungen und/oder Erhebungen aufweisen, die weitere optische Effekte, wie eine Beleuchtung, beinhalten. In dem erfindungsgemäßen Einstiegsleistenelement kann beispielsweise ein Designelement, wie ein Schriftzug oder ein Bild, enthalten sein, das beispielsweise auf die Marke und/oder das Modell usw. hinweist.The door sill element according to the invention may have recesses and / or elevations which contain further optical effects, such as illumination. In the door sill element according to the invention, for example, a design element, such as a lettering or an image may be included, which indicates, for example, the brand and / or the model, etc.

Durch die erfindungsgemäße Verkleidung kann eine Bearbeitung der Oberfläche der Türausschnittsöffnung eines Rohbaus, die in einem Seitenrahmen ausgebildet ist, entfallen. Ferner ist vorteilhaft, dass die Integration der Verkleidung des Schwellers und der Türausschnittsöffnung in einem einzigen Bauteil eine Montageerleichterung ergibt.By the lining according to the invention, a processing of the surface of the door cutout opening of a shell, which is formed in a side frame, omitted. Furthermore, it is advantageous that the integration of the panel of the sill and the door opening in a single component results in a simplification of assembly.
